Hi all,
First let me apologize forhaving sent an HTML file, guess what, I didn't
know I was, I have no clue how it happened. Please let me know if this one
also came out HTML, it should not. It is Mime encoded, except that there is
nothing to encode. I think the problem was that it was sent Quote
Printalbe. Oh Well, things sould be okay now.

Second, thanks for the answers to my questions, even if some were
contradictory. I am not sure if Physical Shamans/Mages get astral
perception, some saidyes, others no. Also, how does a Physcial Mage split
his magic between Adept powers and Magic? Does the power cost get deducted
from the magic rating? EG: I buy 2 points of Powers, no cyberware, my Magic
rating goes from 6 to 4?

Looks fine to me..

Yup.. I believe so, at least. (I barely skimmed that part of Awakenings..)

Nothing wrong with this message that I could see, and Pegasus usually
shows anything that shouldn't be there as such...

They get NO astral perception, except under one condition: by buying the
physad power. Astral projection is completely and forever out of the
question.

In that case you have physad Magic rating of 2, and a mage/shaman magic
rating of 4. Also, for every full 2 points of physad Magic rating, you
have to take a geas on the mage/shaman side of the character.

From page 119 of Awakenings 'Because they focus so mch of their talent on
the physical aspect of magic, physical magicians begin without access to
astral space. They purchase the adpet power of perception, but can never
use asral projection.'

You just split the 6 points up as you want. For example you could place
three in physad abilities and three in 'mage' abilities. This would give
you 3 points to spend magic on physad powers, and a magic of three for the
purposes of casting spells and things. If they lose magic from damage or
something though, it goes from their 'mage/shaman' side first.
